When Blackheart appeared before Shen Mu, he looked at Shen Mu with a hint of surprise, but did not sense any unusual aura from him.
However, the shattered aura of the Wind Demon still lingered around Shen Mu, and with no other people present, Blackheart couldn't help but suspect that the one who killed the Wind Demon was this guy in front of him.
"Are you the vessel chosen by my dear father? I don't see anything impressive about you."
"Perhaps it's just the pair of horns on your head that makes that old geezer feel familiar!"
Blackheart said disdainfully after sizing up Shen Mu, though a hint of jealousy flickered in his heart.
Although he was Mephisto's child, he was not related by blood.
Because Blackheart was created by Mephisto using his own power combined with some special evil.
Therefore, even if Blackheart called Mephisto 'father,' and the old Mephisto acknowledged him as his son, he had none of the Hell Lord's blood in him.
His true demon form, of course, was also vastly different from his father's, most notably lacking those iconic goat horns.
Now, seeing the pair of dragon horns on Shen Mu's head, he involuntarily recalled his own true form and thought he had figured out why that old immortal wanted Shen Mu's body!
"From your tone, it seems you're the little bug spawned by that old stinker, Mephisto!"
"I wonder how much of your old man's wisdom and power you've inherited?"
Shen Mu likewise looked at this pale-skinned, black-eyed son of a demon before him.
"Hmph! I'm about to surpass that old geezer, and killing you will be the first surprise I send him."
As Blackheart finished speaking, the ground beneath Shen Mu's feet instantly shattered, and a giant arm made of earth directly gripped him tightly.
Then, the Decay Demon materialized, landed in front of Shen Mu, complimented the Earth Demon, and then, with a sinister grin, pressed a finger to Shen Mu's forehead.
He was the embodiment of decay, born from countless rotting demon corpses in Hell; anything he touched would be affected by the decaying power within him, gradually falling into oblivion.
As long as the life form was below his own level, whether physical body or soul, if it was entangled by his decaying power, it would only turn to ash.
Because he himself was born from decay, he possessed a more bizarre vitality than ordinary demons.
No matter how many times his body was destroyed, as long as his demon soul remained, he could instantly recover.
However, his demon soul was not actually within his body, but placed in another dimension, connected by a special mental link.
Therefore, the Decay Demon could be considered an immortal and indestructible anomaly!
Within the domain ruled by Mephisto, he was also a high-ranking Greater Demon.
He was far stronger than pure elemental demons like the Wind Demon and Earth Demon.
"I say, are you done pressing? That foul smell on you is truly nauseating!"
"I was actually looking forward to seeing what tricks you demons could pull, but is this all you've got?"
Just as the Decay Demon was gloating, the mortal life he considered a lamb to be slaughtered suddenly spoke!
Shen Mu could feel a power trying to penetrate his dragon scales and corrupt his flesh and blood, but it was too weak, and the horse talisman's divine power easily repelled it.
"What? You can actually resist my decaying power, and you even know I'm a demon; you're not an ordinary life form at all."
The Decay Demon was utterly astonished to see that the spot his finger touched showed no change whatsoever.
Even more surprising was that Shen Mu knew his identity as a Hell Demon, and he immediately realized that Shen Mu was not the low-level life form he had assumed.
However, this only surprised him momentarily!
After all, over thousands of years, he had encountered countless opponents, but in the end, they all turned to dust and vanished under his hands.
He didn't believe Shen Mu would be an exception, because he himself still had his true killing move hidden.
Thousands of years of experience had taught him one truth: even the strongest fortress could be destroyed from within.
So, seeing this situation, the Decay Demon's body moved, instantly transforming into a large cloud of black mist, and then attempted to enter Shen Mu's body through his nose and ears.
"Achoo!"
Of course, Shen Mu couldn't let such a foul-smelling guy burrow into his body; he directly blew away the black mist of the Decay Demon with a sneeze.
Seeing this, the Earth Demon, who had been holding Shen Mu, fully revealed his body.
A giant earth golem, dozens of meters tall, rose from the ground, and with its full form appearing, it was clearly visible that the surrounding ground had sunken several meters deep.
"What is that?"
"First a giant tornado, and now a terrifying monster made of earth!"
"Jesus, forgive us our sins!"
"Am I really not dreaming? Is today truly a prelude to the end of the World?"
"God! Someone save us!"
Countless citizens looked at the monster formed by the Earth Demon with horror.
They prayed, hoping someone would come to save them.
The next moment, everyone suddenly saw the arm of the earth monster explode, and then its massive body was struck by a huge force and sent flying backward.
Shen Mu flew up and slammed a terrifying heavy punch fiercely onto the Earth Demon's head.
Immediately, an intense tremor was felt within a radius of tens of kilometers, like a small earthquake.
However, as an elemental demon, and currently on the ground, the Earth Demon's vitality was quite tenacious.
The head shattered by Shen Mu was rapidly regenerating, and it swung its massive fist, preparing to counterattack Shen Mu, but Shen Mu didn't give him the chance, delivering several more punches.
Then, a terrifying explosive breath directly pierced through its entire body from its head, and the Earth Demon's body immediately exploded violently.
The Earth Demon's shrill screams were completely drowned out by the sound of the explosion!
"It's him, the mysterious hero who defeated that Mutant a while ago."
"Is he an Angel sent by God to save us?"
"But he looks more like a demon!"
"It doesn't matter whether he's a demon or an Angel, as long as he can eliminate that monster."
At this moment, many people used binoculars to see Shen Mu flying in the air, instinctively considering him the hero who would save them from danger.
Shen Mu slowly descended in front of Blackheart.
Blackheart was so startled that he immediately took a few steps back; at this moment, Blackheart's earlier arrogance and pride were gone, and his gaze towards Shen Mu held a hint of apprehension.
And the scattered Decay Demon now reformed his body, standing beside Blackheart with a hint of fear.
If his demon soul had been in that body just now, he might have been completely dead!
